Financial Services Authority (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FS50448746 (05 November 2012)
Summary: The complainant made a freedom of information request to the Financial Services Authority (FSA) for a list of its staff at manager level and above which had previously been disclosed in March 2010. The FSA refused the request by relying on the section 36(2)(c) (prejudice to effective conduct of public affairs) exemption and the section 40(2) (personal information) exemption in the case of the individuals who had left the FSA or moved roles since the list was produced. The Commissioner has investigated and found that section 36(2)(c) is engaged but the public interest favours disclosure. The Commissioner also found that section 40(2) was engaged in respect of individuals who had left the FSA by the time of the complainant-™s request but was not engaged in respect of the individuals who were still employed by the FSA but had moved roles. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose to the complainant the information falling within the scope of the complainant-™s request with the exception of the names of individuals who have since left the FSA, which should be redacted.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 36 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 40 - Complaint Partly Upheld
